IMHO...sounds like could be some form of professional malpractice/and or fraud...

” I wonder if the young idiots who voted for O will read this on their smart phones, the same ones O campaign texted ‘I love you’ to them on before the election “

They are indoctrinated. Their “American Idol” won.

I would be very interesting to hear what they have to say about this news. I’d like to know what, if anything, they think.

It revealed that the number of semesters a student could receive a Pell Grant had been cut from 18 semesters down to 12.


If you get past the headline, dos any conservativec think this is a bad thing?

I’ve made personal strides to stop “funding our enemies” like firing my daughters piano teacher after 6 years when I saw an Obama sticker on his car, changed barbers for the same reason and stopped getting barbecue at our favorite spot. I told all of these people why and they all seemed hurt and sad which pleased me greatly!

Awwwww. The Great Gift Giver took away some of his followers’ gifts.

The media deliberately and intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness suppressed mentioning it.

None of it surprises me.

So you wanted Romney to keep this entitlement? Isn’t the conservative message ‘cut entitlements’?

WOO HOO I am very proud of you. Especially the piano teacher. That is great. I am on the lookout for “enemies” myself, but so far, have found none to fire. My hairdresser and I always talk politics; he thinks 0bama is a bozo out to destroy us.

“... capitalism is bad,...”

The 10th plank of the communist manifesto calls for free public “education”.

America’s re-education system is a giant Marxist moron mill. They “educated” the electorate, and achieved the desired result.

Hopefully your daughter wasn’t sad and hurt about losing her piano teacher.

It was one of the planks of the nazi party platform as well.

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living.

The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all.

Therefore, we demand:

an end to the power of the financial interests .

We demand profit sharing in big business.

We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.

We demand. . . the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments.

In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . .

We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . .
.
The government must undertake the improvement of public health — by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor — by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.

We combat the . . . materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of " The Common Good Before the Individual Good ."

Praise the Lord! It has been my prayer since November 7, 2012 that the obama voters would get what they voted for. Not what their messiah promised, but the actual thing. The 2012 mid term saved them before,but they will be no salvation in 2014, if the elections are held.

The thinning of the herd is about to begin. The parasites and fools will be the first to go. I just pray that the Good Lord allows me to live to see them starve to death.

RE :”If you get past the headline, dos any conservativec think this is a bad thing?”

I think you are missing our point. Our point is regarding young O voters who believed him. It's not about our views on education funding.

Technically Obama last year signed the bill cutting this next year after the split congress passed it, and the Romney campaign was not smart enough to call Obama out on his deception on it.
